Best Answer

1 and 2 Macabees were removed from the Protestant Bible by Martin Luther, along with 8 or so other books. Luther also wanted to remove the book of James and Revelations. The removed books are still in the Catholic Bible, and are used by some Episcopal churches as well.

The Macabees are not associated with Purim.


Why were the Macabees books left out of the modern canonized bible?

These books have no place in the bible because they were inspired by man and not of the the Holy Spirit. A man's thoughts are corrupt and twisted and cannot be trusted to be used for sound doctrine. The Holy Bible however was written by men from all walks of life but they all had one thing in common, they had the inspiration from the Lord God himself. The only verses that man did not write was the Ten Commandments God's law Exodus 20:3-17.


Is there an agreement among all christian traditions about which books belong in the Old Testament?

There is more or less agreement about the main books of the Old Testament starting from Genesis and ending with Malachi.However, the Catholic Bible also includes Apocrypha books not included in the Protestant Bible. These Apocrypha books were not included in the earlier canonical Jewish Bible.The Catholic Old Testament includes Macabees I and II which are not in most Protestant bibles.


Why were the deuterocanonical books eliminated from the Protestant Bible?

AnswerAt the time of the Reformation, the canon of the Bible was called into question. The books now termed deuterocanoncial that called 'apocrypha' by the Protestants, who did not believe they were inspired, in the way the other books were thought to be inspired.When we look at 1 Macabees and 2 Macabees, two deuterocanonical books of the Catholic Old Testament, they could scarcely be more different, even though they appear to have been written about the same time and cover approximately the same historical period. At least one of them has to have been no more than a work of its author's imagination. The early Protestant leaders compromised, but essentially sought to retain those books that would bring credit upon Christianity.Among the New Testament books, the Book of Revelation survived, to remain in the Prostestant Bible, although Calvin had an aversion to that book.

When was the Bible finished?

The last Book of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, was the Book of Daniel. This was written in the second century BCE.The Catholic Bible has two deuterocanonical Books in the Old Testament, I Maccabees and II Macabees, that were probably written a little later.Subject to later canonisation, the Christian Bible was completed when the Books of the New Testament were completed. According to biblical scholars, Acts was a Book of the second century, as were the Pastorals: 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. The Pastorals were written by an anonymous author in the name of St Paul, but refer to the second century Church. Thus, the Christian Bible was completed in the second century CE.
